You've got questions, here's some answers!

I really miss my old transparent messaging app, can I have that back?

• You can now! I've just released a few variations of transparent Gingerbread messaging!

How do I use my own ringtone, alarm, and notification mp3s?

1. Create a folder on your SD card called "media".
2. Inside of that create "audio".
3. Inside of that create:
   • "ringtones" for ringtones.
   • "alarms" for alarms.
   • "notifications" for notifications.

Ah, Swype.

Unfortunately, since the Froyo version that initially came on our phone, we've been employing the latest and greatest versions with better features. But all of them have still been betas, and apparently this particular one expired today. I do not know if, or how to modify it to avoid expiration. Nor do I currently know where to pickup the next available version. Instead, I recommend doing what I have just finished doing. Install the swype beta installer.

Here's how:

1. First, using a file explorer delete the following files:
- /system/app/Swype.apk
- /system/lib/libswypecorexxxxx.so [the x's stand in for the exact number]
2. Next, head here to download the installer.
3. The rest is pretty self explanatory.

You do have to sign up to be a tester if you're not already, I have been for some times. I assure you, it's a harmless process and won't flood your email account.

I wish I could make this easier, but for some time now, Swype has only been releasing beta versions and they will all expire at some point.

As a bonus, if you follow my instructions, then your Swype personal dictionary will carry into the new Swype beta!

I have been referenced to a site with some themed editions of the most recent versions.
Also, you can check here for a few simpler themed editions I have built into my latest themes.
Please Note that I believe these alternate versions will still expire at some point, thus, the installer is pre-included into my roms.

How Do I Use This ROM?

Regularly updated installation information available on the download page.
Install Options:

1. Incremental Update over the latest version.
2. Install over another custom rom version.
3. Clean install.

Please Note: If you attempt a clean install over ThunderHawk III Final, you will have to wipe your phone and install a second time in order to override the incremental updater.

Where have you been and why not FC09?

I've been going through a very busy part of my life and am the father of a now one month old baby boy. As for the outdated update, it's been sitting on my computer at about 98% complete since my last release, but that last 2 percent has been holding me up. I finally had some free time to take a look and finish the update.

On that note, I will be digging in to FC09, if Samsung doesn't drop something else first. I've also been toying with CM9, but am still heavily disappointed in battery life... It's still a phone and it needs to have power for phone calls when those times come.

Awesome! Thanks so much.

I was just wondering what you have been upto recently as your are of my favorite devs here. Can't say that I blame you though as I've got a newborn at home now too. Best of luck!

Awesome! Any chance this will pull ahead of CleanGB in battery life?

It's great, but he's very time consuming!

I couldn't honestly say. Some people will always see different results.
Personally, on the 3 phones I test on, none have seen better battery life than with my own setup.

It's not uploaded yet, but will be up soon-ish (tonight or tomorrow, depending). Information both here and on my site will be updated accordingly later.

Mozol Tov, Random! Hope fatherhood is treating you well. You'll be amazed at how fast they grow up.
